Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson is to be highly commended for his bravery in speaking out against the highly irresponsible sanctuary state protection illegal immigrants have in this once great state of California.

There is a reason to screen those wanting permanent status in this country and a wonderful example of that type human being was police Officer Ronil Singh who this monster that was in this country illegally killed.

I don’t know how much more evidence is needed to wake up the idiots that want open borders rather than using common sense and allowing those who want to improve their status in the world and contribute to our country, not carry the flags from their countries.

Officer Singh’s blood is on the hands of the lamebrained politicians who offer these people protection and I wonder what stance they would take if it was their loved one killed.

Government shutdown is shameful

The government shutdown is shameful and only hurts innocent American families. No one should be proud of what our government is doing no matter what political party you are from.

Mueller’s report will surprise the public

Everyone seems certain of what Robert Mueller’s report will produce, but I predict that when (and if) the report surfaces we will all be surprised.

If the report is quashed by a Trump-controlled Justice Department, I predict millions of Americans will take to the streets and those protests won’t subside until the report is made public.

I’ve got a large supply of popcorn and comfortable armchair. It’s gonna be a rocky ride.

Romney a RINO

RINO Mitt Romney is back in town and his Trump-bashing op-ed only shows what a loser he remains. If he felt he had genuine advice for the man who has bested him repeatedly, an honest team player would have found another way to approach the president.

Declaring war before reaching the Senate confirms the “Never Trump” shenanigans we can expect from him.
